Here is what we put into our most recent guidelines:

AI USE
Travel Oregon does not use AI to screen or evaluate applications received. If applicants choose to utilize AI in developing their applications, human review is strongly encouraged to confirm all criteria are addressed, questions are answered thoroughly, the overall presentation of the project makes sense and that the project deliverables are achievable by your organization if awarded funds. Clear proposals with specific information about your request will be the most successful.

@MichelleEberly we have implemented this on the top of our applications:

We recognize that applicants may choose to use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to assist in developing their grant applications. The use of AI is permitted; however, applicants remain
fully responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and authenticity of all submitted information.

By submitting an application, applicants acknowledge that any AI-assisted content has been thoroughly reviewed and that all responses accurately reflect their organization’s original intent, programs, and needs. Applicants further attest that all information has been verified for accuracy, completeness, and truthfulness prior to submission.

We also require that they check the following statement at the bottom of the application:

I acknowledge that I may have used artificial intelligence tools to assist in drafting this grant application; however, I attest that all responses accurately reflect my organization’s original intent, programs, and needs.

I further confirm that all application content has been manually reviewed by me for accuracy, completeness, and truthfulness prior to submission.

I hope this information gives you a starting point!
